The Whole World is Watching

The Whole World is Watching

This story was written and published in the SISTERS ON THE CASE anthology edited by Sara Paretsky (Signet, 2007). I originally wrote this as an exercise to prepare for writing SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE. This story, like the longer thriller, takes place - in part -- during the Chicago Democratic Convention of 1968. But it differs from the novel in that it's written from a Chicago cop's point of view rather than the demonstrators'. Still, I hope that, like a delicious hors d'oeuvre, it whets your appetite by capturing the passion, the hope, and the fury of that era. You can also find it in print and in audio with the Nice Girl Does Noir collection
